You know, I absolutely love using my crockpot for meals when my day is busy and chaotic. It is my favorite cooking tool in my kitchen and in the summers I use it most often since I don’t use my oven. Something about dumping everything in the crockpot and setting it and then walking away is simply gratifying. I love having someone else, or something else, cook for me.
I stole this recipe from Pinterest. She makes this simple pot roast that I made for the first time yesterday. My husband has been begging me since March to make him pot roast for dinner. I have never made it before so I was hesitant. But I finally gave it a go and he gave this recipe a 10! Here’s the recipe.
Easy Pot Roast
Ingredients:
3 lbs. chuck roast
5 potatoes, cut into chunks
1 onion, cut into chunks
4 carrots, cut into chunks
2 cups of beef stock
2 cups of water
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. real salt (I added more for more flavor)
1/4 tsp. pepper
Directions:
Cut up the potatoes, onions, and carrots in chunks. Add roast in the bottom of the crockpot and then add the vegetables. Add the seasonings on top of everything. Pour the beef stock on top and make sure your roast is covered. If the beef stock doesn’t cover up your roast, add water until it is covered. Cover the lid and cook on high for five hours or on low for ten hours. You’ll know when it’s done when you stick your fork in and it just slides off.
Enjoy!
